  • LED lighting devices Al through D 1 are installed in parking areas A through D, respectively.
  • Each of the LED lighting devices Al through D 1 may be installed in the center of each of the parking areas A through D and may be installed at a high position to light each of the parking areas A through D with the main lighting unit 41 .
  • the camera 30 installed at a higher position than the main lighting unit 41 of each of the LED lighting devices A 1 through D 1 photographs each of the parking areas A through D while rotating by the camera driving unit 20 , and an image of one frame periodically extracted from information about an image captured by photographing each of the parking areas A through D is provided to the parking space determining unit 10 .
  • the parking space determining unit 10 compares the image with reference images to determine an approximate number of available parking spaces. For example, the determination may be made based on a preset reference value, such as unavailable parking, 10 available parking spaces or less, 20 available parking spaces or less, parking spaces exceeding 20 available parking spaces, or the like, and a different signal is output depending on a determination result.
  • a preset reference value such as unavailable parking, 10 available parking spaces or less, 20 available parking spaces or less, parking spaces exceeding 20 available parking spaces, or the like
  • the determination result of the parking space determining unit 10 is input to the lighting controller 40 , and the lighting controller 40 drives the auxiliary lighting unit 42 in a preset color depending on the determination result of the parking space determining unit 10 .
  • red light is emitted for unavailable parking
  • orange light is emitted for 10 available parking spaces or less
  • yellow light is emitted for 20 available parking spaces or less
  • green light is emitted for available parking 20 spaces exceeding 20 parking spaces.
